Jordy van Langen
I am a recent graduate from the research master ‘Behavioural Science’ at Radboud University Nijmegen. I performed my masters internship at the Systems Neurology group in the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging which is part of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. In my master thesis research, I investigated the influence of different types of stress on Parkinon’s tremor and related noradrenergic activity. From November 2019, I will be working as a research assisstant at the Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney, in Australia.
